slt0066 · 03-29-2007, 09:55 PM

hey nice work on the dash.

I have done the same thing just havent got color on it yet . I cant believe no one else noticed that yet..no dash pad...thats exactly the look i wanted and you are the first person Ive seen do that before. I thought i had an original mod

glad to see it looks that good painted though.. i was getting worried because i havent seen any one else do it .

The Instrument Bezel looks like a Covan's classic I believe. (hope I spelled it right)

Very nice truck, must be hard to have it setting for so long.

Well this is great news, I have two more years on "Slow Build" before I hit the ten mark! Now I can get some sleep

Looks like mine will be 10+ years. What tire and wheel sizes are you going with?

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-30-2007, 03:55 AM

i also love the blue, nice overall truck with the swing arms and swaybars and all, looks like one hell of a detailed truck cant wait to see the final result

mike nutt · 03-30-2007, 07:31 AM

that is one sweet ride . are you going fleetside or back with the stepsde ? keep us post , the trucks lookin great.

tech1 · 03-30-2007, 08:04 AM

The bezel is a Covan's classic. The color is a mix me and the paint shop mixed up. The paint was RM. It will stay a step side. Also no ash tray or speaker holes the front fenders are molded to the grill shell and everything shaved!
The Wheels and tires are
20X8.5
20X10
FOOSE NITROUS CHROME WHEELS
255/35/20
285/30/20
TIRES ARE FALKEN 451

I really like ther work done on the Bench seat it looks like an early 90's I think? I have on simular to it and it needs to be redone. Great job!!! sometimes it is better to take your time and plan it out.

1LoC10 · 04-15-2007, 09:43 PM

Sammy · 04-15-2007, 10:00 PM
